Schedule for Friday Jan. 17

Happy Friday, folks. Here's what we have on tap for you today: 

• Alt-country singer-songwriter Doug Paisley performs from his new album, "Strong Feelings." Critics have had strong feelings about Doug himself...the New Yorker gave him kudos for his last outing. 

• Phillip Levine talks about his recent study showing that the MTV show 16 & Pregnant lowered the birthrate amoung teen moms. Jessica Grose follows with a bigger picture cultural view.

• Q's media panel, with rabble.ca's Judy Rebick, Jonathan Kay of the National Post, and Tony Burman of the Ryerson School of Journalism. 

• University of Alberta business professor Andrew Leach fact-checks Neil Young's statements on a controversial oilsands expansion, and scrutinizes media coverage of the project. 

• Elvira Kurt's Cultural Hall of Shame
